    CostCo Books

    Has anyone tried this service?
    After spending hours photographing kittens, and another session on Sunday with a little more planning and posing, I'm going to try to put one together.

    Just curious to see if anyone else has done this yet, and what the quality is like.
    There's a 45% off discount at the moment, so I can try it on the cheap

    Paul,

    eta: googled it - and got books that Costco sells online.

    Paul .. is this one of those services where you can upload a load of pictures and they produce a bound book for you?

    I can't speak about Costco (who I've never heard of) but amateur Photographer reviewed a similar service from Photobox some time ago .. and they were very favourable. I was actually thinking of the Photobox version as a way of making a souvenir of my daughter's wedding.

    Liz, it's photo books produced through MyPublisher software.
    I've found a few bugs in it, but it's not bad.
    Nowhere near as flexible as the software in the Aperture demo though.

    I'm going to try Creative Memories this year for some xmas gifts. I have seen the books and they are gorgeous. I'm going to have to check out these other links and see the price differences.
